The moment has finally arrived. Lil Wayne’s highly anticipated album, Tha Carter V, was unleashed into the world on Thursday night (September 27).
The long-awaited release put a cherry on top of Weezy’s 36th birthday and ended a tumultuous chapter in Weezy’s story.
The drought is over. @LilTunechi's #ThaCarterV is finally here. Listen now.https://t.co/Q1DXqcwqThpic.twitter.com/HrzUwICNh9

With guest vocals from Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Sossaman, Ashanti, Mack Maine, Nivea, Wayne’s daughter Reginae Carter, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj and the late XXXTENTACION, the 23-track album — understandably — lit Twitter on fire.
AD LOADING...
Post Malone, who was reportedly added to the project last minute, was noticeably absent.
Some are calling for Tha Carter V‘s release date to be a national holiday while others simply can’t believe it’s here.
